Experience

Highlights
  • Skip the line at the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill
  • Let your guide captivate you with stories of gladiators, emperors, and plebeians
  • See the remains of temples, shrines, marketplaces, and much more
Full description

Visit the iconic Colosseum and be transported back to the Roman Empire. Stand in the amphitheater that was once the entertainment center of the city, hosting fights between gladiators and even wild animals imported from Africa and the Middle East.  At the Forum, your guide will regale you with stories of political intrigue, betrayal, and triumph. See what once was the heart of day-to-day life and explore the remains of the most important buildings and spaces of one of the greatest ancient settlements.

If you choose the express tour, you'll skip the Forum visit for a 2-hour tour that gives you more time afterward to explore Rome on your own. Then, discover Palatine Hill, where the legendary Romulus is believed to have founded the city. It became the location of the houses of affluent Romans and then home to the emperors. The ruins are impressive and the view over the Circus Maximus is a must-see.

The check in was stressful. Mine and others bookings were crossed out and the man checking us in was not helpful at all, saying us to ‘call the office’ which he then refused to listen to me or the person on the other end of the phone until they asked to speak to him by name, luckily we had the phone on loud speaker next to him, otherwise i think we would have continued to ignore us. After an awful start we met the tour guide and he was great, only wished that we had longer in the Colosseum.

It was a good tour! We started with Palatine Hill and Roman Forum and ended with Coloseum. It was my second time visiting it and because of the tour and the Italian guide it was such a better experience. Thank you so much Silvia for your entertained guidance.

Really great experience, tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative and I learnt so much information that I didn’t know before.
